Dave's Nerd Compendium

This week Dave the Nerd covers the subject of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy written by Douglas Adams. He gives you a brief history of the book, and how it actually was originally a radio show for the BBC. Dave also gives his opinions of how he feels if the movie industry were to hold off until now, the movie would have done much better. ]]>

In this episode Dave talks about a book series he started reading that came highly recommended to him. It just turns out that the book series is also a newly adapted television series on the SyFy network entitled “The Magicians”. But this episode is about the book series written by Lev Grossman. Dave also gives you some new tech tips and asks for your tech questions. ]]>

I had the honor to sit down with the majority of the cast of a Wyandotte Community Theatre show, the Stage Production Premiere of ‘Rainbow with Butterfly Wings’. They give us a quick once over of the show and gives us little hints on what we could be expecting. It is a show that I think that everyone should be checking out. I also answer some common tech questions some IT people get asked commonly. ]]>

In this episode I am joined by one half of the Language of Bromance podcasting team, Shawn. And we talk about something near and dear to both of our hearts, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This is more us just rambling on about TMNT than the typical DNC history of episodes. But it was a pleasure to have Shawn on and talk about anything and everything TMNT. ]]>

In this episode Dave was blessed by having a lot of different people send in clips in honor of the event. He was even joined by special guest Jack Wallen to talk about his newest books he has coming out. So be sure to wish Dave the Nerd a Happy 100!!!!! ]]>

In the last double digits issue, the episode leading up to the Nerdtenial, I talk about my second favorite DC superhero. And it is not due to the fame of Arrow. It is due to a conversation that was had with a group of friends that side tracked up from what we needed to be doing. ]]>

This week I cover a new show that just started, however there is a more sorted past. I cover that past. From his first appearance in Sandman to his spinoff series. And just remember we are two weeks away from the Nerdtenial! Get your audio clips in if you want to be part of the show. ]]>

In this episode I cover one of the oldest comic book teams ever. And no I’m not talking creative teams. I am talking the superhero team of the Justice League of America, or Justice League. I thought I would talk about it after watching a trailer for Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Since that is the leading into the Justice League movie. ]]>

I cover a lot of different things that have happened this year. From deaths, tv shows, movies, worst moments, and other items that have set the nerd world on fire!! ]]>

In this episode I cover a great book series called Maximum Ride by James Patterson. Of course this James Patterson is of no relation to your nerdy host with the most. But still I give you a quick summary of each book in the series. I hope you take the time to check out the books and let me know what you think. ]]>

Dave is out but John is in! John’s here to continue the nerdy goodness by telling you all about the other films in the Star Wars series! Happy Star Wars week! ]]>

This past weekend I lost a close friend, a father figure, a mentor. And I spend the first part of this episode talking about him. I then move onto talk to a composer who Chuck Feger introduced to me and that is James Swearinger. This is a quick episode, but I did so to not get too emotional. ]]>
